They probably won't let you switch because its too late in the year and there may be timetabling/class issues ? or maybe theres just not enough hours remaining for you to satisfactorily complete the course.

^ You probably misunderstood what the OP is saying, or maybe I did... Hmm, I think the OP is currently doing Advance and is facing the problem of being dropped to Standard by the school for some reasons. The school can still drop you down to Standard despite we are well and truly into Term 2.

(I am in the same boat as you... just trying to improve my marks all the time :()

someone once told me a school can't stop you from doing a subject.

My friend got rejected for extension math 1, she then spammed the principal with complaints, and got in.

However, she is failing MX1 though...

lol, are you at school now? I am not because its Athletics Carnival today and there is a speech and 2U test tomorrow. :(

Its true. The school won't stop you from doing a subject, but you will need to have a solid reason to argue with the guy in charge.

If you mean you are doing standard english now and you want to change to advanced english in year 12, that won't be possible as you didn't cover the preliminary work

If the school bars you from doing Advanced, I guess there is very little you can do. Give it a try anyway with parent letters...

If the school has stopped you from doing advance, then there's most likely a good reason behind it. Plus, someone who skips school to escape assignments and assessments shouldn't even think of being capable of doing advance... right scion?

maybe the school doesn't want you to because you're stupid and will drop the average of the advanced group

suck it up sunshine
